Animal Descriptions: an Entry level listening and speaking game

First used in an E2-E3 literacy group at Abingdon & Witney College, this warm-up activity was designed to reinforce previous work on adjectives, and develop listening and speaking skills

Teaching notes

• Print in colour, laminate pages 2-3 and cut each page horizontally into cards Give one card to each student Picture not to be revealed to other learners

To play:

• Each student to describe their picture without saying the animal’s name Allow five minutes preparation time Encourage students to make short notes on individual whiteboards

• Model the process first using one of the cards For example, the cat could be described as: medium sized, friendly, makes many people feel happy, soft, green staring eyes, quivering whiskers, padded paws, beautiful patterned fur, etc Avoid descriptions that reveal the identity immediately E.g a very common pet that purrs (This rule may be hard for students to follow and can certainly be ignored by Entry 1 students.)

• Encourage students to talk for as long as possible (A timer may be useful – allow at least one minute’s talking time) Other students should not interrupt or call out the name but can jot down their thoughts on individual whiteboards

• When speaker has finished other students can reveal their ‘guesses’ on small whiteboards or discuss as a group Speaker then reveals picture

Differentiation

• Remove or ignore writing on right hand side of cards and use as a simple question and answer

guessing game for Milestone 8 and Entry 1

• As students are describing their animals write the adjectives they use on the class whiteboard

or flipchart Use these as a word bank for spelling work or for later discussion For example: Were some adjectives used by more than one student? Which ones? Do some adjectives

describe both looks and feelings? (Terrible, bright, blue, fierce, funny) Levels 1 and 2

• Do some words, often verbs, give the game away immediately because they are so specific?

E.g purring, roaring, slithering, fluttering Levels 1 and 2

• Blank wheels on page 5 (example on page 4) can be used to organise thoughts At Levels 1 and 2 you might want to stipulate that students only fill wheels with adjectives (or adverbs)

• Students to reflect on their descriptions Were they clear? Could they have given the information in a different order or used different adjectives / words If two students had been asked to describe the same animal would their descriptions have been different? Why?

(Different feelings about the animal, previous experience of animal, etc.) Entry 3 upwards

• Follow up with some short writing activities For example:

Guess who I am

Why l love lions / penguins / robins A day in the life of a tortoise / butterfly Lost pet ad for a lamp post (snake / cat)
